Funchal Airport liquid rules — FAQs (2026)

What are the liquid rules at Madeira Airport in 2026?

We have not separately verified Madeira (Funchal) Airport's published liquid rules, so we recommend defaulting to the EU 100ml-per-container hand luggage rule, with all containers in a 1-litre clear bag.

Does Madeira Airport have a CT scanner that allows larger liquids?

We have not seen an official announcement that Madeira Airport allows hand luggage liquids over 100ml. Pack to the 100ml rule and follow airport signage on the day.

What is the hand luggage liquid allowance at Funchal Airport?

Default to 100ml per container in a single 1-litre clear resealable bag, one bag per passenger — the EU baseline rule.

Are Madeira Airport liquid rules the same as mainland Portugal?

In practice yes — the EU 100ml hand luggage liquid rule applies, the same rule confirmed at Lisbon and Porto. We just don't have a verified Madeira-specific source page yet.
